Kevin Campbell has claimed that Bernd Leno will leave Arsenal for ‘not a lot of money’ this summer, as he told the Highbury Squad.
The former striker added that he can see Arsenal’s now back-up goalkeeper being transferred to another club for a maximum of ‘£15 million’.
In 2018, when Unai Emery was in charge of Arsenal, they paid Bayer Leverkusen £19 million for the now-30-year-old (Guardian).
There is certainly interest in Leno, from across Europe and the Premier League itself, Dutch side, PSV Eindhoven are looking to bring him in, as are newly-promoted Fulham.
Either way, Arsenal legend Campbell thinks Leno is heading for the exit door this summer after falling behind Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order.
“Yes, he’s not going to go for a lot of money,” said Campbell. “I think maybe £12.5 million or £15 million max we will get for him.”
LENO HAS SERVED ARSENAL WELL
With Matt Turner recently joining the club from MLS side New England Revolution, that perhaps indicated that the USA shot-stopper will take Leno’s place on the bench.
The German has served Arsenal well during the time he has been at the club, but in truth, he simply can’t remain a number two because he is too good for that spot.
It will be interesting if he remains in the Premier League and how far down the table he heads because it’s been a while since he has played on a regular basis.
With Aaron Ramsdale signing last summer, the Englishman, after a few weeks, took his spot and helped elevate an Arsenal side that were bang in trouble, at the time.
